Should Saturday Night Live be Cancelled?

I tried to watch it last night it was just so boring. Do you guys still like SNL?

Saturday Night Live should have been cancelled decades ago. No cast has ever been able to be as good as the original cast. I haven't watched SNL in years and I couldn't pick a current cast member out of a line-up.... :biggrin:

Yup, season 30. I really don't think it should be cancelled. Its not great right now but it is still pretty good. I enjoy tuning in every Saturday night at 11:30. Ironically, the show is called Saturday night live but two thirds of it take place on Sunday morning.

Neither do I think it needs canceling, the current writers do though. It's gone through bad spells like this before & replacing the writers helped tremendously.

it's true it goes through dry spells a.k.a when all the good people leave. I think it went really bad after Will Farrell left then all they had was Jimmy Fallon and he's only good when he's impersonating someone

I think it's good, but nothing will top the Mike Myers era.

SNL needs to leave network TV and go to cable. It shouldn't disappear altogether, simply because it's a place for up and coming comedians earn their wings, hone their craft, and find their niche, and it'd be a shame to lose such a convenient and effective career springboard (almost a rite of passage).

 

But network TV is not the place for these comedians to come up. They should start on cable, which has less draw than the networks.

 

But yeah, I stopped watching SNL back in the early 90s.
